Grant Park ‘Art on the Farm’ Tours

From the beginning of July through August 8th, our teen ambassadors in collaboration with After School Matters, offer free tours of our potager urban farm in Grant Park. This farm is a demonstration plot displaying how to grow a variety of crops in a beautiful and sustainable manner.
